Guntersville Muni/Joe Starnes Fld sits in Guntersville, Alabama. Field elevation is 614.6 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is 5,500 ft on the water runway 06W/24W. The other runway is 07/25 at 5,005 ft asphalt. There is no control tower. Use CTAF 122.8.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so a light piston pilot should plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Published remarks also note runway end identifier lights on 7 and 25. Runway 25 has a PAPI. Medium intensity runway lights are available on 7 and 25. Deer, birds and coyotes are reported on and near the field. Keep a sharp scan on arrival and departure.
Guntersville Municipal Airport is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL and Jet-A Prist. The published remarks say 24-hour self-service Avgas is available. Full service Jet-A is available during normal operating hours. For clearance delivery, contact Huntsville Approach. If approach is closed, use Memphis ARTCC. This is a non-towered field with mixed water and asphalt operations. Brief the runway surface before you get there and verify current local procedures with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone.
